Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

"If the cultivators outside saw us like this, they'd probably be furious!"

Wang Sheng smiled as he gently pinched the plain white porcelain cup between his fingertips, slowly sipping the immortal spiritual tea that Yuan Qing had specially brought.

The tea soup is clear and mellow, with a smooth and rich taste. It carries a wisp of ethereal and lingering Taoist energy, slowly cleansing the body and calming the restless mind brought on by days of battles and confrontations.

"The people of the world are ignorant and narrow-minded, with short-sighted vision and deep-seated obsessions. They think day and night, hoping that my Immortal Tomb and the Heavenly Court will completely break off their relationship, that a great war will break out, and that both sides will be severely damaged."

"Only when we fight to the death, with blood flowing like rivers, can those hidden forces reap the benefits and survive in peace."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing smiled.

"In truth, there are no eternal enemies! Now that the Immortal Restriction remains, under these circumstances, joining forces is the best course of action!"

Wang Sheng put down his teacup and said.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing's smile faded, his expression turned serious, and he nodded slightly in agreement.

The wind on the mountaintop turned cool, causing their robes to flutter. The surrounding atmosphere fell silent for a moment, with only the clouds drifting slowly and quietly.

After a long pause, Yuan Qing sighed softly and said,

"It still depends on the Western Daoist's profound cultivation and long-term progress."

"Without you, fellow Daoist, this world would likely have been sacrificed by my Immortal Tomb long ago!"

"Of course, it's also possible that Sima Changfeng was the first to attain Dao, killing me and Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng, and destroying Master's body!"

Hearing Yuan Qing's hidden dissatisfaction, Wang Sheng maintained his smile and said...

"Blood sacrifice is against the natural order. Fellow Daoist Yuan Qing is also a highly accomplished master; why make the people of the world suffer? They have already suffered enough!"

Yuan Qing glanced at Wang Sheng but said nothing.

I wonder who was it that said they wanted the people of the world to suffer!

Wang Sheng pretended not to see Yuan Qing's look and continued.

"And that Sima Changfeng!"

"By my calculations, I've ruined his reincarnations more than ten times. He hates me to the core. I fear he might resort to desperate measures and seek help from the Immortal Tomb!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing immediately said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured. Sima Changfeng's bloodline is far too terrifying; we must not allow him any chance to turn the tables. Otherwise, neither of us will survive!"

Wang Sheng nodded, then asked, "Imperial bloodline?"

"I know very little about the outside world. Could you perhaps enlighten me on a few things?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing suddenly stood up and said solemnly,

"Of course!"

"In exchange, fellow Daoist, leave the affairs of the people of this world to us!"

"Furthermore, if you are worried about your safety after the master returns, rest assured, I will take on disciples on behalf of the master. Once you join my Immortal Tomb sect, you will be a member of my Immortal Tomb."

Wang Sheng frowned deeply.

He slowly rose and paced back and forth in silence, as if deep in thought.

Half a day later,

Wang Sheng finally stopped and walked to the very edge of the high platform at the top of the mountain.

Below them was a sheer cliff, shrouded in mist, with no end in sight. Taking another half step forward would lead to an endless void of turbulent currents, howling winds, shattered laws, and unpredictable danger.

Standing atop a towering peak, overlooking the vast landscape, one sees the boundless天地 (heaven and earth) and all things appearing insignificant.

Wang Sheng gazed at the endless mountain ranges and surging sea of ​​clouds in the distance, his figure lonely and forlorn, letting out a long, weary sigh.

"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice!"

Yuan Qing's lips twitched upon hearing this. Ever since he read about the rise of Xiji, he had discovered that this person mostly killed others, and the few times he was hunted down, he had powerful backers to help him.

What utter nonsense about walking on thin ice!

"Fellow Daoist, your abilities are vast; there's no need for modesty!"

Yuan Qing was about to go against his conscience and offer a few words of comfort.

But then Wang Sheng said,

"When I reach a high place, I find myself always alone, with no one to talk to. The desolate winter makes me shiver. What is my purpose at this height?"

Yuan Qing, "..."

Yuan Qing did not respond.

Wang Sheng continued.

"Human desires are like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once they begin, they can never be stopped!"

"Heaven and hell—I have no right to choose them, only a destiny to be chosen!"

Yuan Qing, "..."

Yuan Qing was somewhat speechless.

He had studied Wang Sheng's personality.

He felt that Wang Sheng wasn't the kind of person who could reason with people.

But what he's saying now is indeed thought-provoking.

This made Yuan Qing think that perhaps the burden of sacrificing blood to all living beings was too heavy, making this young man feel mentally exhausted, and he suddenly came up with a few insights!

"I agree!"

Finally, Wang Sheng uttered four words in a heavy tone.

Yuan Qing, who was pondering, was taken aback upon hearing this, and then his face lit up with great joy, even ecstasy!

As long as we can perform a blood sacrifice to appease the world and bring back our master, all the current problems will cease to be problems.

They waited for tens of thousands of years, and now their master's physical body has recovered; all that's missing is for the souls of all living beings to be replenished and restored.

Although Yuan Qing felt that Wang Sheng was thinking a bit too quickly, those few profound principles were indeed very reasonable!

Overjoyed, Yuan Qing also believed that Wang Sheng had no other way to go.

The immortal restriction is too strong; even the Yang God Immortal Lord finds it difficult to break through.

Moreover, above the Dharma Form is the Yin God Immortal Lord. Above the Yin God is the Yang God Immortal Lord!

Yuan Qing believed that Wang Sheng could only break the Immortal Restriction by relying on the Immortal Tomb.

"Okay, okay!"

"Very good!"

"It is truly commendable and worthy of congratulations that Fellow Daoist of the Western Pole has made such a wise move!"

Yuan Qing laughed loudly.

"Fellow Daoist, can you tell me about what's happening outside now?"

Wang Sheng said with a sense of helplessness.

"certainly!"

Yuan Qing nodded.

Then his expression turned serious, and he said...

"Fellow Daoist, first of all, I must tell you that the outside world is not as you imagine, a place of carefree immortality and fierce competition among myriad races!"

"First of all, this world, along with a large area of ​​dead stars nearby, is known to the outside world as the Dead Zone."

"What is a dead zone? It is a region where more than 90% of the stars are withered and decayed, their laws are broken, their spiritual energy is depleted, and they are devoid of any life. They are all desolate and abandoned stars."

"Only a handful of stars still possess fortune and abundant spiritual energy, capable of nurturing life and multiplying their races; these are known as living stars. The world beneath our feet is one of the few living star worlds within the Dead Zone."

"Outside the Dead Zone lies what's known as the Holy Martial World Cluster!"

"The Dead Zone is merely an insignificant corner of the Holy Martial World Cluster. There are tens of thousands of places like the Dead Zone within the Holy Martial World Cluster!"

"In the Sacred Martial World Group, powerful individuals abound, and saints emerge in great numbers! The Dharma Aspect is merely the foundation for traversing beyond the realms. Among them, the Imperial Clan is the most elite existence in the entire Sacred Martial World Group. Every member of their clan possesses extraordinary talent and unparalleled strength."

"I won't go into the specifics of the Holy Martial World Group yet."

"What I want to tell you first is that before our master led us to this world, the Holy Martial World Group was engaged in a civilization war with a world group called the Intelligent World Group."

The so-called war of civilizations is the ultimate clash between different cultivation systems and different civilizational lineages, a battle to the death.

"A civilization, a path of cultivation, once defeated in war, will be completely wiped out, its lineage severed, its traditions destroyed, and its people exterminated."

"No matter how glorious and brilliant the past was, it will eventually turn into dust and disappear completely into the long river of stars, leaving no trace."

"Therefore, the war of civilizations is about the survival of the race and the continuation of the tradition. It is extremely cruel and allows no mercy. Once it starts, it will be a battle of hundreds of millions of lives, with rivers of blood flowing and no end in sight."

"Although tens of thousands of years have passed since then, the war of civilizations is not child's play."

"We speculate that the War of Civilizations has now passed its initial stage and is in the midst of fierce fighting. Powerful figures from all sides are engaging in a massive battle, participating in the War of Civilizations."

"It is precisely because the war of civilizations has involved the entire high-end combat power of the two world clusters that the powerful figures on all sides are deeply involved in the battlefield and have no time to spare. Otherwise, given the domineering nature of the imperial clans, they would have already dispatched top experts to cross the star sea and come to this dead zone to search for remaining clues and bring back their old comrades."

"Therefore, if we do ever leave this world one day, fellow Daoist, be prepared, as we may be drawn into a war of civilizations at any time."

Yuan Qing's expression was solemn and dignified.

When the topic of the war of civilizations came up, there was even a hint of fear in his eyes!

Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng's expression also turned serious.

He nodded solemnly, inviting Yuan Qing to continue.

then,

Yuan Qing described the situation of the Holy Martial World Group, including the distribution of its forces, cultivation levels, realms, treasures, and so on.

By the time Yuan Qing finished explaining the general situation, a day and a night had passed.

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow cultivator!"

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Wang Sheng asked kindly.

"there is none left!"

"That's all I know!"

"If you wish to know more, please ask when our master returns!"

"Fellow Daoist, when will the blood sacrifice begin?"

Yuan Qing looked excited and asked impatiently.

"Blood sacrifice?"

"What blood sacrifice?"

"I am the ancestor of humanity, I am the Heavenly Emperor, why must I undergo a blood sacrifice?"

"Fellow Daoist Yuanqing, you must be joking!"

Wang Sheng's expression suddenly turned cold, and he spoke calmly and indifferently.

How could he possibly entrust his fate, life and death, to the decision of a tomb owner he had never met!

A person can only rely on themselves!

Peng!

There was a loud noise,

Yuan Qing's clone and reincarnation were immediately shattered by Wang Sheng's palm strike.

"The Western Pole!"

Yuan Qing was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and his furious roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
